Here’s S’more Irony

UPDATE 30th June: Sorry guys but my Food Buzz sharing does not seem to be working completely so I may not be able to comment on all the blogs I usually do – sorry about that! Hope it will be fixed soon 🙂

HIIIIII, GUESS WHO IS ON HOLIDAYZZZZZ (yeah, I’m kind of cool enough to put ‘z’ instead of ‘s’ :P)

Do you want to know what this means? Like Joey would say ‘Yeah, you do!’ This means I will be posting just about every second day. Yea, lots more chocolate recipes for you 🙂
You want to know why? Because I can 🙂

You know what else? Already, I have revamped my recipe index – why? Because I can 😀

You want to know the best part of EVERYTHING? My holidays officially commence at the beginning of National Ice Cream Month (should really be international, considering we all celebrate it ;))
And why do we all celebrate it? Say it loud and proud with me my friends, BECAUSE WE CAN!

I love being human… 😉

Anyway where does the irony come into this? Well, see, I know all you Northern-Hemispherees are sweltering in the Fahrenheit heat but for us Southern folk, we are rugged up cosier than a teddy bear with the heaters on full blast with our lack of Celsius 😉
It’s ironic that we should be enjoying a cold month full of ice cream!

Never the less, it is necessary to celebrate this month because it only comes one out of twelve months annually 😀

So I decided that I needed to do

Celebrate the start of the holidays with a bang!

Celebrate National Ice Cream Month with a bang!

Not make people shiver at the thought of ice cream 😉

And then it hit me – and it was soooo obvious! I needed to put a warming element into my ice cream.

“Did she fall on her head as a child?”

No, I most certainly did not… I think 😛
What I mean is that we needed something which had warm, melty qualities perfect for winter but to incorporate them into an ice cream. Kind of like when I made my popcorn ice cream (popcorn is warm and buttery no?)
And then it hit me s’more… the world’s oldest pun intended 😉

S’mores, s’mores and s’more glorious s’mores. Here are some pictures to get you in the mood)

In a large saucepan, place marshmallows, thickened cream and full cream milk over low heat (marshmallows stick and burn easily and you do not want any boiling milk)

Stir constantly until the mixture is melted. Add in vanilla essence and then set aside

Pour the marshmallow mixture into the ice cream maker and churn for 25-30 minutes or until the mixture is soft serve consistency

Scoop into a freezer container and stir through chopped nutty chocolate and biscuit pieces

In a bowl, combine syrup, chocolate and cream

Microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring between each, to melt the chocolate and cream until a smooth ganache forms

Drizzle over or swirl through the ice cream

Freeze for 5-6 hours or overnight till set

Eat with extra s’mores for s’more enjoyment 😉

In-A-Blink-Of-An-Eye S’moresSource: Everyone does this 🙂

Makes: 1 happy person

Ingredients

2 giant marshmallows, or 4 regular ones

3-4 squares chocolate (choose whichever kind you want)

2 sweet, plain biscuits (or not, it is up to you)

Any spreads (jam, Nutella, PB) optional according to your preferences + other fillings

Method

On a plate, place one biscuit, right side down (spread with whatever desired)

Place the chocolate pieces on it and microwave on high for 10 seconds on high

Place a second biscuit (spread if desired) next to the first biscuit, right side down, and place marshmallows on it

Microwave both biscuits and toppings for 15 seconds on high

Sandwich the chocolate topped biscuit on the marshmallows and squish 😀

Notes

The cooking time can vary by even 5 seconds so be careful as marshmallows are fickle 😉

The happiness and contentment that comes from microwave s’mores and s’mores ice cream does not end here! It’s awards time 😀 😀 😀

Thank you so much for the nomination CCU. Sorry I’m a little late, but it has been a bit crazy around here and I am a bit behind in just about everything.:D Thank you for thinking of my blog. I so appreciate it!

Your s’mores ice cream sounds delectable! And all these pictures of sweets are going to send me right to the kitchen to raid the cabinets. Enjoy your time off! Congrats on your awards and thanks for thinking of me!

On vacation and no ice cream maker in sight! That, however, is not stopping me, CCU, from enjoying the photos of all those wonderful ice creams (particularly yours!). It’s been in the high-90s (once over 100) here in the Maryland/D.C. area of the US and just reading about ice cream is cooling me off. So, thanks.

Yay for your school break!! Love the more s’more idea here!! It sounds cool and fantastic. We are having 100+ weather heat… so the cooler… chillier the better. 🙂 Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. 🙂

Well well, I had no idea there was a month for ice cream! I will try making some for my first time ever!
I have only had smores once. Camping. Last year. (first time camping at that…) I NEED some more often than that! 😉

S’mores are one of my favoritest things ever. They are perfect in every way. When my bestie studied in England for a semester and tried to explain the wondrousness of s’mores…her roomies were confused. So she had to show them. They now know, they understand. S’mores=happiness.

So why am I pinning this sinfully delicious looking Ganache Swirl Nutty S’mores Ice Cream to my National Ice Cream Month Pinterest Board? Because I can:) Not only because I can but because I never want to forget how absolutely glorious it is to ooogle. That’s oogle not google, lol…

Your creations are beyond amazing, Uru!!! Thank you so much for sharing…Happy Ice Cream Month!!!

You are incredible darling! The way you create desserts is astounding and just looking at this recipe brings me back to my days at camp, where we made smores…this is just the gourmet version! 🙂 I love reading your posts – full of energy and fun! Thank you for all of your visits this week to my blog, it’s such a delight to read your lovely comments and have your readership. Enjoy your vacation and all the time you have to create more recipes!! xox

Is the ice cream month June? Does that mean I missed it already? 😦 I can’t seem to find my ice cream maker because mum hid it somewhere! I might just have to make my ice creams the old fashioned way. 😛 Look at that OOZE! It looks like total finger licking deliciousness. 😀 I’m one who likes to eat ice cream with the heater on so this is perfect. 😉

Happy holidayzzzzzz. What an appropriate day to celebrate ice cream. I love your roundup and see some of my favourite bloggers there. Your s’mores icecream looks Ah May Zzzzzing. I love the hot and cold, squidgy, crunchyness of it all.

I love the idea of combining an ingredient that makes you think of heat and warmth with the cold ice cream. This looks fabulous! I have been making a lot of ice cream lately because it is rather warm here, but I have not tried something like this. I think my family would enjoy it. I’ll have to check out the other ice cream recipe as well. Enjoy your holiday!

A s’more in a microwave??? I think that’s a sacrilege but I’m not 100% positive. What happened to roasting the marshmallow while huddled over a campfire (or a candle) and then smashing it on top of the chocolate between the biscuits ?

My American-ness will not permit microwaving a s’more. (unless nobody is looking)

Love the ice cream and great news that you’re on holidays. Ice cream is my friend.

I’m going out to right now to buy some smore ingreds for myself, except I don’t get Arnotts’ biscuits, I will have to settle for the ho hum graham cracker. I need to purchase an ice cream maker to enjoy the full effect of your delicious smore’d ice cream. Too good, as always, girlie!

Hooray for your holiday! I can’t wait to see all the goodies you cook up for us…and more posts with your marvelously amusing self! Loving your S’mores Ice Cream and your Speedy S’mores 🙂 I have another variety of s’mores on my blog for Monday!

Congrats to the award, and that you are officially on vaycay. And what better way to start than this delightful dessert. It’s incredibly hot in Toronto, well above 30°C with high humidity. We’re all melting over here.

Oh Choc Chip Uru, first, happy holidazzz to you. 🙂 Isn’t it nice to have a little break? And I want to let you know that even though I am not supposed to eat ice cream because I am lactose intolerant, I still eat it once in a while and I love it in wintry months. Yes, I do think that I definitely fell off a chair or something when I was a kid. Lol. And lastly, thank you for the award. You really shouldn’t have… Thanks~

Congratulations CCU…you definitely deserve any award that you get. Your blog is amazing and your writing is always so fun and fresh. Thank you for awarding me with the Beautiful Blogger award. What a sweetie you are.

LOL, I’m a little slow! I thought you put the icecream ON the s’mores creation after heating it…which is now something I wan tto try although it would be undoubtedly horribly messy. Your ice cream concoction is fabulous! It’s so hot in America right now, we need no warming element to tempt us, but the s’mores was a great idea to go with it. I’m having such a craving now!

YES, I am stoked for ice cream month, needless to say. Perfect overlap with my book release, don’t you think? Even more perfect, I actually have a toasted marshmallow ice cream recipe in it, so frozen s’mores are totally happening, asap.

Love the look of that saffron ice cream – have done saffron parfaits a couple of times and I love it. Beer Nut ice cream something for me too. You enjoy your holiday and I will enjoy mine. Will do your french toast tomorrow again – to treat myself – last breakfast at home for a months. Really love that. Will do a post about when I’m back in the game. Will do a couple of report along the route.
Spoil yourself and indulge yourself. Have a great holiday.

It’s a bit warm (mid to high 90s F all week) to make smores but I’ve been gobbling down ice cream drumsticks (chocolate dipped in nuts or drizzled with caramel) for the past week. In fact, I’ve had one a day … all consumed in a few days. 🙂

I feel like I have put on a couple of kilos just reading through your post today – hee hee. Probably just as well that we are in winter at the moment so I won’t be too tempted for too much ice cream. 😉
Thank you so much for nominating me for the One Lovely Blog Award, I am truly honoured that you thought of me and your blog is worthy of the Beautiful Blog Award.
Have a happy weekend and enjoy the holidays.
🙂 Mandy xo
